Textbook in PDF format

This is an excellent resource for those who just joint academia and would like to teach in higher education but have little experience. This resource will be of great value and will not only provide teachers with key principles of teaching and learning in higher education, it will also provide them with practical approaches to enhance their teaching and develop their career. The book is edited by three experts in the area and the contents are discussed in about 500 pages with 27 chapters covering key topics teachers need to comprehend their teaching. The book was first published in 1999, this third edition enforces key issues discussed in the first and second editions and provide practical examples on teaching.
A Handbook for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education is sensitive to the competing demands of teaching, research and scholarship, and academic management. Against these contexts, the book focuses on developing professional academic skills for teaching. Dealing with the rapid expansion of the use of technology in higher education and widening student diversity, this fully updated and expanded edition includes new
material on, for example, e-learning, lecturing to large groups, formative and summative assessment, and supervising research students.
Part 1 examines teaching and supervising in higher education, focusing on a range of approaches and contexts.
Part 2 examines teaching in discipline-specific areas and includes new chapters on engineering, economics, law, and the creative and performing arts.
Part 3 considers approaches to demonstrating and enhancing practice.
Written to support the excellence in teaching required to bring about learning of the highest quality, this will be essential reading for all new lecturers, particularly anyone taking an accredited course in teaching and learning in higher education, as well as all those experienced lecturers who wish to improve their teaching. Those working in adult learning and education development will also find it a particularly useful resource.
